What state has the best soil & garden conditions for what I want to grow? Is your city and state idea?

I grew up in Northwest Indiana and my Grandma had a GLORIOUS garden. She was from Mississippi and boy did she have a green thumb. I will likely be relocating in 2 years %26amp; we're open to a hundred places around the country.. we love adventure AND family.. Here's what I'd like to grow and please don't say it can't all be done, because Grandma did it! Thank you!!





Apple tree, a cherry tree %26amp; eucalyptus tree or plants.


Pergola with grapes. I will grow onions, carrots, potatoes, celery, green onions, strawberries, cabbage, collard mustard and spinach greens, tomatoes and brussels sprouts.





I'd like flowers, too, but I'll leave those to my hubby who loves landscaping.





Lilac bushes (my favorite) !!!





Lots of herbs like cilantro, basil, rosemary, lavender %26amp; such for cooking and making soaps %26amp; candles.

Pennsylvania is a great state for growing all that you have mentioned. In fact I have a garden every year and grow all of what you mentioned and more. My lilac bushes are awesome. They are one of my favorites as well. The only tree I do not know if it will grow is the eucalyptus tree. It might I just never tried.
Reply:For what you are describing, you need a lot of rich top soil. Iowa has the best land in the nation and produces 80% of the nations food. Iowans are typically very friendly and family oriented. They also have the best school system in America.
Reply:I don't think you can grow eucalyptus trees in Iowa, sounds like you are going to have to go further south, or south and east or west.
